The MIDI synthesizer put a lof of commerical musicians out of business.  Will
Commodore International Ltd.'s Amiga 500 computer do the same to companies that
produce commercials?  That is the implications of the new campaign for the
Amiga created by Griffin Bacal.  The seven 15-second animated television spots
were created entirely on teh computer.  Norman Hajjar, the agency's 
vice-president and management supervisor, even played creative director on
this account, making several commercials on the two Amigas he has at home.
Total cost: less than $50,000.  "There was no production company involved
anywhere," Mr. Hajjar said.

==============================================================

It looks like we have some commercials to look forward to this coming holiday
season.
